An assistant principal in New York City was caught secretly changing 11 of his son's exam and course grades from failing to passing.

According to The Daily Mail, Abdurrahim Ali, 52, of New Jersey, altered his son's marks between June 2012 and January 2013. Ali worked at Bread and Roses Integrated Arts High School in Harlem, where his son was a student and a member of the school's basketball team.

In a sworn deposition, Ali admitted to using his administrator's password to access the school's grading program.

"Despite a Bread and Roses policy requiring that grade change requesters fill out and sign handwritten grade change forms for all grade changes, I did not fill out any such forms for the changes I made to my son's grades," Ali wrote in the deposition.

He is being fined $7,000, but he has not been fired for the infraction. The New York Daily News reported that Ali will continue to draw his $104,437 salary while education officials decide where to place him. He is not currently assigned to a school.

Ali began working for the New York City Department of Education in 1989. His son attended Bread and Roses from 2009 to 2013.

A whistleblower told investigators that Ali had also changed the grades of other players on the school's basketball team, but the assistant principal only admitted to changing his son's grades.

The school is set to be phased out for poor performance by 2016, the Daily News reported.

A Department of Education spokeswoman said, "Mr. Ali abused his position, and has been disciplined for his inappropriate actions. The DOE is committed to swiftly addressing any improper behavior in our classrooms, to ensure that we are delivering a high-quality education to all our students."
